Snow Plowing / Parking Restrictions
No parking is allowed on streets overnight between 2:00 AM and 8:00 AM unless signs are posted indicating that
overnight parking is allowed. No vehicles are allowed to park on any street if three inches or more of snow has fallen within the proceeding 48 hours. Only after the plow trucks have cleared the entire width of the street, will vehicles be allowed to park in the street again. The Police Department will tow any vehicles that are in violation of any of these regulations.

Streets will be plowed in the most efficient manner possible. The streets in the same vicinity will typically be plowed one after another. The City has designated some streets as Priority Snow Plow Routes that may be plowed first or more often than other streets during major winter storms. These priority streets usually have more traffic and connect major sections of the City to provide emergency access for fire, police and medical services.
